sar pe saayaa saa dast-e-duaa yaad hai
apane aa.Ngan me.n ik pe.D thaa yaad hai

[dast = hand; duaa = prayer]

jis me.n apanii pari.ndo.n se tashbiih thii
tum ko skuul kii vo duaa yaad hai

[pari.ndaa = bird; tashbiih = comparison; skuul = school]

aisaa lagataa hai har imtahaa.N ke liye
zi.ndagii ko hamaaraa pataa yaad hai

[imtahaa.N = test;  pataa = address]

maikade me.n azaa.N sun ke royaa bahut
is sharaabii ko dil se Khudaa yaad hai

[azaa.N = call for prayer]

mai.n puraanii havelii ka pardaa mujhe
kuchh kahaa yaad hai kuchh sunaa yaad hai

[havelii = mansion; pardaa = curtain]
